Whilst I think Walcott would be decent there is still the risk he'd turn out to be a Schneiderlin, as in his best days are well behind him and the motivation to turn it in every week now he's stepped down a level might have waned.

Surely with our new, much expanded scouting network we can find pacey wide men about 5 years younger, otherwise what's the point in hiring the glorified chief scout and giving him a fancy job title in the first place.

I’m a bit like warm on Walcott. Pretty sure he’d do well and be better than what we have, at least for a while / but surely there’s a better value medium to long term option of someone younger with potential to be better somewhere?(I have no clue who that is though btw)
